What Weird Thing Did WCW Tell Big Show He Couldn't Have?

"Luckily, WWE thought different"...

The Giant WCW

Big Show told Sportskeeda that WCW higher-ups once told him he couldn't have entrance music as a singles star before he joined the nWo.

Why? Well, officials in the promotion said, "You're a giant - you don't need music".

That odd explanation is so WCW it almost hurts. There's a chance management had looked at André The Giant's run (he never had music) and thought their own Giant needed to mimic that. Or, maybe they got flustered when some massive dude who could crush them like a grape started asking questions about why he was walking to the ring in silence.

Show said that WWE's attitude was completely different. When he brought up WCW's thoughts, people thought they were insane. He was always going to get music; nobody in WWE could quite believe that this was even a topic of conversation.

It was WCW though. Few things were logical.

The Giant didn't get any entrance music until he was part of the nWo. That's when things started to change, the company moved away from presenting him as André Jr and everyone forgot about the old 'no music for you, bro' plan.
